The days are flying by, I can barely keep up.  I have the ball rolling for an awesome prank this weekend. If you know my dad...mention nothing of a prank!  I will post photos from that next week!  I am very excited.   The said prank is rentable, so others can enjoy the awesomeness!

In the wonderful world of photography, I have been pretty busy.  I was able to get a table at Super Bride Sunday!   Though I didn’t know of any photographers to that would have a camera…so I don’t have any pictures of my amazing table.   I want to thank Kendra and Ava for spending their day helping me out.  Because of this event, my Wedding Season is going to be very busy!


Since I haven’t posted anything in so long, here are some photos of some recent…and not so recent…beautiful people that I have had the pleasure of working with!

 
 

 

 

I love what I do.  I am so blessed with opportunity to get to do this.  I am grateful to my wonderful family that makes it possible!   

 

Happy Friday!

Terri

44 in 365

So, this should have been posted weeks ago, but…it wasn’t and I am ok with that. 2009 was amazing. A great year. A year to remember. I am thankful for my family, friends and clients that helped me to make 2009 so memorable. I know that 2010 is going to blow it out of the water. There are many reasons that I know this. I am revamping my style and really shooting the way that I want to shoot. I am going to work on my Branding and really become the photographer that I want to be, that I am.

There are many things that I would like to do and change. I thought that if I posted it on here I might feel more accountable and actually do some of these things. I also wanted to keep it real and not list 50 things that I really had no intention of doing. So here is my 44 in 365! As I do and complete things listed below, I will update and post images if they apply.

1. Shoot in a State that I haven’t photographed before
2. Diamond Event (info coming soon)
3. Try a food that the sight of it makes me gag.
4. Have Jon try that same food
5. Shoot a Boudoir session
6. Shoot a wedding on the Beach
7. Become better Branded
8. Shoot 2 styles of Mother Daughter Session (Mommy and Me : Mother/Daughter)
9. Get a pedicure ( I have never done this, the thought of people touching my feet is…gross, but I want to try it)
10. Take a “no boys allowed” vacation. Either with friends or my sweet little girl
11. Go to Zumba and look like a dork doing it…I think that I left my rhythm in the 90’s. Much thanks to Annie for making me try it
12. Take a few moments a day and breathe in the moment. Life may seem hard, but it is still wonderful!
13. Play a prank on my father! Priceless photos to come after.
14. Try to let my Husband know just how wonderful he is without words.
15. Get a new hobby.
16. Diamond Invitations
17. Help a good cause
18. Sell my house (we are rootin for you Cookie)
19. Buy the House and make it a Home
20. Starting Running
21. Run a Half Marathon
22. Shoot someone I admire
23. Make a GROOM tear up from an amazing picture I take of his bride.
24. Hang canvas prints in my studio and home
25. Drop a few lb’s
26. Send Scott a package in Afghanistan (I have been planning to do this forever!)
27. Do something that scares me…like karaoke
28. Get actual Music on my website and get rid of the elevator crap that I have now. Sorry to any one that has speakers and has to listen to it. ;)
29. Buy a great pair of heels that AREN’T on sale…pay full price!
30. Lead by example
31. Become stronger in my faith
32. Secretly make someone’s day
33. Focus more time to Family and Photography
34. In the words of my niece when she was 2.5 years old “Don’t sweat the small stuff!” Thanks Erika
35. Laugh until I cry
36. Send a card once a month to someone I miss
37. Add a member to my family…PLEASE JON and pets don’t count!
38. Have a dinner out where Bralynne sits through the WHOLE thing (sleeping counts!)

42. Get a better studio
43. Shoot less in the studio and more on location Lifestyle shooting
44. Lastly but most importantly - Spend special time with my daughter daily

Spreading some love with some family photos.

Mommy and Me
She's my Honeybunch, Sugarplum, pumpie umpie umpkin. She's my sweetie pie!

These two are my world!Poor Ozzie...he hated this outfit.

This is why 2010 will be so wonderful!

A little of me to you,

Terri

Something New!

These are a few of my Favorite things...and not so Favorite!


Love goes out to the wonderful Holiday Season. Especially to 105.3 for playing all Christmas all the time.
Being creatively inspired! Stay tuned for some wonderful changes in 2010 and you will know what I mean.
Friends, Family and Faith. We all hit rocky roads at times and it is wonderful that we can be there for one another. Giant Props to my Hubby for being so great to some loved ones. I see you in a whole new light!
Family time! My family had a wonderful weekend...with out a camera...how the heck does that happen?!?!?!? A few days in Nashville, TN will do a family some good :)
Seeing my dog after a day of being gone. Nothing like some puppy kisses!

No Love goes to delayed shipping! What the Heck is that all about? When a business is based on printing and sending orders...they should be able to print and send orders!
Traffic...boo! An hour to travel a mile, really? Good thing Jon was driving, I would have gotten some crazy bad road rage and ripped the steering wheel off!
Terrible 2's! OK, don't get me wrong, my kid is PERFECT! But every now and then this wave of screaming and falling to the ground falls over her and I am at a loss. It only lasts a moment and then it is over as quickly as it started.

And a photo for flavor! The joys of Christmas photos. I do have at admit that my lovely daughter is the only kid that lost it every time I tried to take Christmas pictures of her. And she is the only kid that cried when she saw Santa!

Have a Wonderful CHRISTmas and enjoy your days!

XO,

Terri

Santa Baby

This picture makes me smile. :)
